Haha, that is funny.
For Destiny's whelping box, I put some old sheets and a blanket in her box because I knew they were going to get pretty messy. It make her box real comfy and soft and since they were older sheets it didn't matter that they got dirty. After she had the pups I changed the bedding right away, I stuck it in the wash and it came out looking good with no stains. So shortly after she had the pups I switched the bedding to a nice soft thick comforter. She loves it and it real nice and cushioned for her and the pups. I have three comforters that I switch to since I change her bedding often to make sure everything is kept clean.
In fact before Destiny had the pups, I had her box out about a week before her due date so she would get use to it. The other dogs found it and thought I had just bought them a new comfy bed, they all wanted to lay in it because it was so comfy, lol.
And yes do be careful when you are using blankets, sheets or towels. They can crawl under them and get stuck. The way I have the comforters that I use is so that it covers the whole box and hangs down some in a way that makes it nearly impossible for them to get under the covers, even if Destiny digs a lot.
Good luck with the upcoming delivery. |
